3rd of April, 3pm.
I've sent emails in recent years, nothing, so as I do with Premier League or other clubs I'll drop a DM.
Most clubs get back to me in a minute or an hour. To date Southend United is the only club that haven't replied.
Now if this is the way a half decent player for the club is blanked then me nor anyone else is in a position to offer anything to the club.
I'm sure, absolutely sure that there is no mal intent from Ron towards the club as I'm sure there wasn't from Vic Jobson back in the day, but until someone in authority opens the door to as many ideas and possibilities as practicable then a relegation or financial collapse becomes inevitable.
I've been at Old Trafford, Anfield, Wembley working over the years and a positive Southend result comes through in League 1, and I'm happy, because the club are fine and competing. I contacted the club on the 3rd because the offer of any help to Ron and the club is only a sign of wanting the club to be stable.
Step one is simple, for Ron to open the door.
Step two is an honest appraisal of what his plan to get back is and who will lead that charge.
Step three is his willingness to sell and what is his price.
Step four and most important step is whether Ron wants to continue or not, to have the Supporters Trust given a role in the structure of the club, an ability to invest and make decisions in a restructuring of the board.
It is an absolute ****ing nonsense that English football fans feel this is some kind of unattainable Everest while their German counterparts have it as a birthright.
So the good Sheikh Mansour himself could be waiting in the wings but unless Ron decides to pick up his phone and engage and be open to change then everyone is wasting their time.
